A box contains some mangoes, apples and kiwis. 0.2 of the mangoes is equal to 80% of the apples. The number of kiwis is
56 of the total number of apples and mangoes. If there are 133 less apples than kiwis, how many fruits are there in the box altogether?

45 0.2 of the mangoes is equal to 80% of the apples. Make the numerators the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
1x45x4 of the mangoes =
4x15x1 of the apples
420 of the mangoes =
45 of the apples
Mangoes : Apples
20 : 5
(÷5)
4 : 1
The total number of mangoes and apples is repeated. Make the total number of mangoes and apples the same. LCM of 5 and 6 is 30.
Number of less apples than kiwis
= 25 u - 6 u
= 19 u
19 u = 133
1 u = 133 ÷ 19 = 7
Number of the fruits in the box altogether
= 24 u + 6 u + 25 u
= 55 u
= 55 x 7
= 385
Answer(s): 385
